Thank you Conrad. That was very helpful. Particularly the path to the rake files and link to the turorial.

My problem was that the rake api told me how rake worked, but not how individual rake tasks such as rake db:migrate worked. It seems the only way to find this out is to dig into the code (which at the time of writing, I'd failed to locate). I guess what I'm missing is an rdoc equivalent for rake tasks. It looks like there has been some thoughts along these lines as Rake has a display_tasks_and_comments method (which I think is used by 'rake -T'). However the output is very basic and describes what the task does but not how to use it. Perhaps I've been spoilt by api.rubyonrails.com. Its a shame that the rake tasks that are core to Rails, aren't as well documented. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
